If you replace the fan, be sure you get one with similar RPM and CFM ratings. Of course, that typically means that it's going to be about as noisy as the original unless there is something actually wrong with yours.

If you clean the fan with compressed air, you should use something to keep it from spinning. Otherwise, the bearings can be damaged. I don't think the stock fan has ball bearings, so you might also look for that, if you can find them in an otherwise compatible fan.
